Damn. I went away for a minute and when I came back, this movie was still on

#monsterdon

"Quick, we need you to run FORWARDS into this parked semi"

#monsterdon

The sentient lawn mower is actually making me want to be watching a completely different movie, a Troma movie even, called "Blades".
#Monsterdon

Yall keep going on about why is this thing alive but not that thing...it's a progression, the machines are biding their time, etc otherwise this would be a 5 min short film #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986

I'd hate to see what's going on at the sewage processing plant

#monsterdon “This bible has everything in it” that’s how you know it’s genuine

Lol, of course he's a Bible Salesman.....

#Monsterdon

I can see your BRAINS!

"Zeke's Trash". Yep, that'll play in Peoria.
2nd male gets kissed by a truck like a deer in headlights. I guess that's why the headlights were on in the daytime.

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

Luckily that kid has a stingray style bike so he can go faster than that old lawnmower

So... like... the machines all see? Like with eyes? Or, uh, something?

WHAT ARE THE RULES HERE???

#Monsterdon

@sean That ice cream truck is The King of the Road.

#Monsterdon

@saucerlost that would be nice yeah

#Monsterdon

see it's funny because the preacher said a swear word!

#monsterdon

Love the ice cream truck playing a tinkly rendition of "King of the Road" while rolling around in search of a victim.

#monsterdon

How is the reporter relaying the news about deadly machines without getting garrotted by some cassette tape or something?

#Monsterdon

I always knew lawn care would kill the human race. And now we have proof.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

I thought Bible salesmen were just metaphors

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The ice cream truck is playing “King of the Road” #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm sorry we were collectively traumatised by any reminders that #ChickTracts were a thing.

Please accept this Cthulhu version of those vile tracts as a form of therapy:

If this happened today, think of all the video that would show-up on social media.

(Of course social media would still work: machines in this scenario are doing everything possible to harm human beings.)

#MaximumOverdrive

IF SPRINKLERS ARE SENTIENT WHY NOT BIKES

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

NGL an ice cream truck with no occupant going around with its jingle playing is the scariest shit they've done so far in this movie. It's what you expect to see right before the air raid sirens start and Silent Hill transforms. #Monsterdon

I like how the lawnmower growl-started. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The horror of the movie is not helped by the fact that most of the characters are hopelessly idiotic.

#monsterdon

Gotta give props, that's a picture-perfect bike lawn flop. #monsterdon

Is that Ice Cream truck playing 'King of the Road'? What a weird choice... #Monsterdon

I mean I wish ice cream trucks drove themselves, then I could feel ethically a-okay destroying the one that haunts my neighborhood

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

🎶You dropped your ice cream…🎶

#Monsterdon

I do like the idea of a homicidal ice cream truck, though. The hunter has become the hunted :D #Monsterdon

Kid's taking it all pretty calmly.

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 This movie is too tasteful to show it

#Monsterdon

Well, they finally got self-driving cars #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

could be worse, could be a killer klown driving the ice cream truck #monsterdon

They lingered on this shot so long, I had to zoom in to see what it was. A woman killed by a hair dryer?
#monsterdon

I feel like that particular batch of rock music deserved to be used on a montage of watching all these people get killed

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

"don't you "sweet thing" me!"

I may have missed a detail with all the hilarious jokes I'm typing-- why does the kid's bicycle not go on a murder spree?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

This poor traumatized kid on his bike

He's the one to empathize with

I miss those standardized headlight bulbs!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon KIng of the Road is appropriate and pretty cool..

VW Beetle...unsafe at any speed #Monsterdon

All the machines have to run out of fuel/power at some point, right?

#Monsterdon

Did anyone get killed by their vibrator?

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Pet death. #monsterdon

Time to go live in the woods for a bit
#monsterdon

"Anybody here?"

"Nope, not now."

"You're cute."

Get it girl, no fucking time to waste when you could be fucking!

#Monsterdon

Whoever staged the bike montage, this is brilliant. 10 out of 10, would avoid your Halloween house #Monsterdon

Kid's just ever so calmly biking around the neighborhood looking at all the dead and bloody bodies. No biggie. No need to rush or anything.

BTW why aren't bikes rebelling? The only rule seems to be "machine."

#Monsterdon

And that scene (with the lawnmower coming at the camera) is the one that cost the Cinematographer his eye. Poor guy.

#monsterdon

NOOOOOO! NOT THE PUPPY! #Monsterdon

If they'd sprung for the limo option, it'd double as a hearse.
#Monsterdon

Oh no that doggo that should not be in this movie

casual dead dog too? this movie is twisted

#monsterdon

Exploding machines on the Tubi ad, too. Good match. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon There goes the 30 minute delivery guarantee…out the window!

Death by stereo #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Okay, THAT'S too much, the dog is nto the problem

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@SordidAmok And Giancarlo Esposito

#Monsterdon

of all the things you can accuse this film of, at least the ice cream truck is not playing Turkey In The Straw!

#monsterdon

if all the trucks were being evil i would probably want to start by taking their batteries out or whatever instead of just letting them have faces and grudges and stuff #monsterdon

Those sprinklers are full of piss...Checkmate Humanity!

#Monsterdon

advert interlude...

A Volkswagen bug tried to kill me once <shows off scars>

aw, his head's still attached, booo

“My name’s Bi-yull”
You know you’re in the South when names that are normally one syllable long are two syllables long #Monsterdon

Is this movie just a sequel to Duel?
Like how alien is just one alien but the sequel is man Aliens. Only with trucks this time.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Really was expecting one of those sprinklers to punch a one-inch diameter hole through this kid's midsection. #monsterdon

Bad Boy Emilio Estevez doing the nearly useless key between the fingers trick is kind of a lol

#monsterdon

to be fair, I genuinely enjoyed the sprinkler gag

#monsterdon

You don't see a truck full of water heaters every day. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon spooooky sprinklers

The soundtrack slaps!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

Aw shit here we go again #monsterdon

okay that's who's going to survive this movie: the kid who DIDN'T get pancaked and looks super tough now

#monsterdon

This baseball player kid has it all figured out, I think.

#Monsterdon

Why is the truck adjusting its mirrors to see them? Is the magic comet tail dust supposed to like... put invisible people inside the machines or... What???

#Monsterdon

Those sprinklers...

"I will... moisten you.... to DEATH!! Come back!"

#Monsterdon

Never seen such threatening lawn sprinklers

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

"You ever see that much nothing?"

We're watching this film, aren't we? #Monsterdon

Lady, you say that like you haven't been in the midwest in the morning.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

#monsterdon every day, chica, every day

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Oh I see. The movie was made this way because a local Walmart closed and had surplus ketchup in both regular sizes and industrial size. Yep--King had to start somewhere.

#monsterdon

"you sure make love like a hero!"

@europlus Movie magic. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Vroom vroom is the smartest thing anyone's said in this movie.

Gentlemen, be sure to marry a girl that can drive like that!

#Monsterdon

"Here comes another load of joy!"

That's what HE said... #Monsterdon

As someone who actually works at a company that makes self-driving car software, I am loving this 😂

#Monsterdon

naw

he's just an asshole

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

...Does it see through the rear-view mirrors, then? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon even the mirrors?!?

He took so long to get in the car, he might've got left! #monsterdon

#monsterdon man they’re stretching the definition of “load of joy”

So... Is this like actually Green Goblin or...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Fuel cap was put back on somehow.

"Here comes another load of....... joy" #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

THis truck is doing weird stuff- I should squat behind it. #monsterdon
